As many people know there is going to be keys in Black 2/White 2. These keys are for catching Regice/Registeel and making your game mode Easy/Hard.
Unfortunately these keys are obtained after you beat the Elite Four making it only half the experience of the new modes. Now an easy answer to this is to get a friend to beat the game first then use his/her key to change the mode your game is at. Though sometimes friends don't have the right game for the mode you want or maybe they don't have the generation V games at all. I think it would be a good idea if we set up a place where we could trade keys to each other easily and without the hassle of finding someone with the right game.
Please post your opinions on this. Thank You

So, say someone who completed the game had the difficulty key, would it be "shared" with a person who hasn't stared their game yet allowing them to play in the difficulty mode instantly? Because that's what I'm hoping to do as opposed to playing through the easy mode.

Yes. Keys can be shared to start a game ALMOST instantaneously. You will of course have to go to a Pokemon Center first, though in Black2/White2 there s a Pokemon Center in your home town. I personally would like to be able to play Challenge mode Instantaneously and not have to wait till the Elite Four.

If you don't have a friend near by, then you are kinda screwed. Gamefreak designs the games so that you have to have local friends with the games to do a lot of things. If you don't then you'd have to have a second copy with a spare DS.

It's annoying how you have to share the keys through local wireless because I'd like to be able to play challenge mode when I first play the game straight away, but there is no way I'm waiting for my slow friends to finish their games before I do that. At least I'll be able to do it in the second, seeing as I'm buying both the games, but it still is a major inconvenience. I really hate it when video game companies just assume that everyone has friends (that also have the games).

Yeah you have to use Infrared, meaning your DS's literally have to be face to face with each other. I don't have any other friends who play Pokemon (or who would openly admit it, lmao) so that kind of sucks. I wouldn't even consider this local wireless because that would imply you could do it at some sort of range, where you can't even do that.

Still it's a nice option for once you have beaten the game I guess. I just wish they'd take more advantage of Wireless and just give up on everything local because let's be honest, not many people are going to playing Pokemon with their friends.

Local trading and such should be removed and replaced in Wifi. Though I do have Pokemon playing friends they will probably take awhile and one is even considering NOT getting the game. The keys are just another example of the things we thought were easy but end up wishing it were easier. I totally agree with most of the above statements by others in this forum.

I agree with this. I find it annoying, too. I thought I could trade keys over Wi-Fi, but I guess not. :/ I'm sorta forcing my little sister to get White 2 so we can trade keys. And just in case nobody knew, the next part is spoilered.

Spoiler:

I told her Reshiram was in White 2, not Black 2. She thought Reshiram was in B2 because it was in the first Black game.

I don't have Pokemon playing friends... just siblings, and they get their games like months after I get mine. D:

No I think if you reset your game it permanently deletes everything from your data including the Keys meaning you'd have to beat the game again to get a new one. That's how it works with all the past games. Its why you can't relink with the Pokewalker in HG/SS and why you can't relink your Black/White to the Dream World after deleting your data.

You can only make the game harder form where you currently are or get a second game to use the Key on to increase the difficulty.

If you delete your game to try and play it on hard mode, it will not work. You'll just delete everything including the key and most likely with rage about it for a long time.

The Keys and Challenge/Easy Mode are also two competely different things. The Key for Regice/Registeel aren't what enable the Modes, Simply beating the game enables the modes.

Yes resetting games will reset the key too. You also cannot trade keys to or use them on Black and White (not 2) so if you want to use the first game to avoid the spoilers of playing a White2 or Black 2 game and then doing it again in challenge mode. Trust me, replaying the same Pokemon Game with *slight* changes over and over again gets boring fast.

Thankfully, I can resort to Emerald Version to obtain the Regis/Legendary Golems (although there's the disadvantage of the Synchronize field effect applying to the B2W2 Regis, but not to the RSE ones), but I'm still annoyed that these Regi Keys are local wireless only instead of global WiFi. It's getting increasingly harder to find nearby people who own copies of the Pokemon games.

ONLY ME HA!!!

The Aquarius loves a party. Anytime, anywhere is their motto. It is not unlikely that an Aquarius will consider a wake a good place to meet chicks. Aquarians love to be naked. It is even better if they are naked and crocked. Froot Loops is a very Aquarian cereal. So is Rice Krispies, since it will engage in a friendly chat with the Aquarian as he or she is eating breakfast. Count Chocula is off-limits, however. It belongs to the Scorpios. Aquarians use the phrase "Dude, man..." frequently when describing philosophical concepts. Aquarians have out-of-body experiences on a daily basis. If you are talking to an Aquarian and he or she zones out, consider the conversation hopeless. He or she is talking to the guy three feet away from you. Aquarians are fun because they channel people. Plus, if you tell them to, they will run around naked. Aquarians like astronomy because they've been to all those places. If you want to know what the food is like on Saturn, ask an Aquarius. Aquarians can allow themselves every possible vice on the planet, and don't think twice about it. That is why they piss everyone else off. They are cosmically entitled to do this.

Just to verify this, I am going to buy both games as always but i really only want to play White 2 but i want to play it in challenge mode. So if i get someone to blitz black 2 i can just transfer/trade challenge mode on to white 2.

I think many people would use the Action Replay code if there were one for the English Version, I don't usually use cheat codes but in that case I would class it more of a time saver than a cheat. I'd prefer to play the challenge mode first rather than the normal mode.
